Solved Typing glitch

[Parkinsond]

There is a glitch in Vivaldi browser for Windows (7.4.3684.55 (Stable channel) (64-bit), on Windows 11 24h2).
Cannot type some capital letters such as m and k using shift key; only by caps lock.
Edge is working fine.

This seems like a unique issue. Try reinstalling the browser or resetting your keyboard settings. If the problem persists, consider reporting this to the Vivaldi support team.

keyboard settings are just fine; I can type capital letters using shift on notepad and edge.

In that case, it might be a specific issue with Vivaldi. Try to update the browser to the latest version. If the problem persists, contact Vivaldi's support team for further assistance.

If you're already on the latest version, then it's best to report this issue directly to Vivaldi's support team. They may be able to provide a solution or fix in a future update.

There have been some reports of Vivaldi having issues with keyboard shortcuts or general input, though not always specifically tied to "M" and "K" with Shift in the past I would advise reporting the issue.

This glitch has appeared just this morning, without changing settings or updating Vivaldi.
I will try to wait for the next updage (especially Vivaldi did not get the latest security fix) and see if it is going to be corrected.

Installed the latest snapshot (also to get the latest security fix as they are reluctant to release for the regular version) and glitch still exists.

Installed the latest snapshot (also to get the latest security fix as they are reluctant to release for the regular version) and glitch still exists.

If it worked in a guest profile and then failed in your main, it would point to corruption. But if it fails in a clean snapshot environment, it suggests a core Vivaldi issue.

Once (presumably) tested in a clean profile within the snapshot, your next action should be to formally report this bug to Vivaldi. They won't know about it unless users like you tell them.

Here's how to do it effectively.
Go to the Vivaldi Bug Report Page, the most direct link is usually:

I have found the solution; the only way is to delete all keyboard shortcuts including shift + any other letter

I don't have this issue with Vivaldi on Windows 11 24H2.

I don't have this issue with Vivaldi on Windows 11 24H2.

I have it on W 11 24h2; but after deleting keyboard shortcuts, it is gone.

Do you experience this issue when using Vivaldi's Private Window?

Yes; I even tried install the latest snapshot of Vivaldi, the same scenario.
